Here is an attempt on a baby lion. Catching the running pose was a bit harder than expected!

Even if everything is not exactly like the reference, i'm pretty much proud of the result. Tried to be confident and used red pencil to limit my erase reflex... I usually draw animals and i'm surprised of the hand and the caracter result.

Hi Maxime, you should take your photo "parallel" to the drawing and paper board for better results. Nice work. You could give another attempt to better your knowledge of each subject and improve proportions and line work. I did it myself and I think it served me. And redone it again after watching the Demo.

nice lines and style. You made it.

My attempt at spider hands and penguin before watching the demo. I'm somewhat satisfied with the hands but the penguin could be a lot better. I think it's quite off balanced and also the lines don't flow as nicely as they do with the hands or the vr girl. Any feedback is appreciated :).

Good execution!

Here is my hand drawing. Tried the red pencil me too! It is a strategy that helps me as well stay in "sketch" mode. I am quite satisfied with the result. I sense that my linework is improving as well as my hand-eye coordination. Proportions are satisfying too I think. Let met know your thoughts. Cheers

Maybe my hand is a bit too fat in the end! ;)

Here are 2 pinguins sketches. I think I did not grasp the beak. Also I think that I tend to hold my pencil too tight from time to time. Let me know your comments.

Hi, here is my 20 minutes CSI snail. Gave it a try at grasping the shape. Satisfied so far, with some improvement that could be redone on how the shell sits on the body. What are your thoughts? Thanks

Hey! Here are my pears. Attempted several attempts in order to grasps the constraints and goals of the exercise. The first attempt, was after the assignment was given. I did not follow the rules. Did it over again trying to simplify and make a 3D shapes out of planes with only 5 tones. I feel it was less convincing than the 1st one. Did another try where I put some emphasis on planes. A little better. And then the final one that is the best I think. But I still can see that my shading needs more "stability" and clarity. My shapes are not perfect either, I can tell. But did want to move to the next assignment. I think I gave it what it needed to improve, the rest should follow in the next exercises. Give me your thoughts, would be interested!

here is my exercise. Glad to hear your thoughts! Is it enough simplified?

think i will do it again with straight lines and more differenciated shading!

Hello! For this assignment I took some balanced poses, and after that, I've tried to unbalance them in the next sketch

Very interesting. You have a good control of the figure and its parts.

This was definitely a challenge, especially incorporating all the anatomy. I initially followed along with Stan, but now am starting to do my own from reference. Still a bit off with measurement and have a ton to learn about anatomy, but I'm excited to keep going!

Nice linework

This exercise took some time to get used to but I loved how hard it was. I decided that would try myself first without looking at the demo, then follow along while drawing over my own version for poses that felt extra difficult. I tend to overthink, but finally, on the last one, I managed to relax and only show the essentials.

Nice constructions. We can feel the form on quite many of those. I feel you could have less isocurves (the ones subdividing arms and muscles in general). I think you would have greater impact, especially that the form and proportions are good. Cheers

the left one is my attempt and the right one is a draw along with Proko. I Instantly realise my tendency to make the pose very stiff and did not exaggerate it. But at least the proportion isnt too far off... i hope.

The exaggerated pose are the most convincing. We can feel the perspective in many as well, which is good.

Here are my attempts at the three drawings. I would really like some feedback here, specifically about line weight. I feel like I'm being either too uniform, or not intentional enough about which lines to highlight. Still this was great fun!

Hi dodo, regarding your line weight, you seem to be scribbling a bit, try to avoid that and gain confidence in doing longer, fluid and gestural lines. I analyzed your first drawing and had some fun understanding it. I am no pro here but as I can see, you can work on your structural basic shapes to get more geometry out of your figure. You will then be able to make it live by drawing it in multiple angle and understanding its basic shapes and proportions. Good drawings!
